Will he have an arc of importance?

While we can't tell for sure until we've seen the films, we have a few clues pointing us towards which dwarves are going to be the most prominent, and Nori, so far, isn't one of them. Stealing something from Smaug's lair is kind of a big deal in terms of plot development, a major event; If it is to happen (twice, I should note, another thing which I think speaks against the possibility of it happening; This is Bilbo's moment, after all) is Nori an important enough character to the story to be the one to do it? I think it's more likely that Nori will be something of a minor jock; Not every dwarf will be able to have a big character arc. The only way I can see this happening, is if PJ and team believe that the audience will think badly of Bilbo, thinking that his theft makes him directly responsible for Smaug's rage, and the subsequent destruction of Lake-town, effectively turning the audience against Bilbo. If they are afraid of that happening, then I could see them turning someone else (like Nori) into the scapegoat. But two thefts? Unlikely, I think.

I think it's more probably Nori

Perhaps he'll have something to do with The Arkenstone? //

Nori probably steals more than just the gold in Smaug's hoard

I wonder if he is made to feel redundant by Bilbo?

I'm curious about the relationship between Bilbo and Nori.

Indeed, that's a possibility.

Or perhaps his role is to highlight Bilbo's lack of experience

PJ's LOTR does remind me of America now that you mention it.

It's merely that you seem to assume that this will overtake the focus
